The Suns will host the Charlotte Hornets Thursday night at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, AZ. Game time is scheduled for 9 p.m. EST
Charlotte got the season off to a decent start, winning three of the first four games. But then they lost six in a row, falling to 3-7. They managed to cut the losing streak off with a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday night, 124-112. The Hornets have the lowest-scoring offense in the NBA and are the only team not averaging over 100 points a game this season.
Phoenix had a rough start to the season, losing five of their first six games, allowing five of six opponents to score over 120 points per game. However, they have been better in recent games, winning three of their last four while holding three opponents to 110 points or less. San Antonio scored 122 to the Suns' 96 in Monday’s game in Phoenix.
Injuries have factored into Charlotte’s struggles and will play a role today as well, with Brandon Miller (groin), Kon Knueppel (hamstring), and Dennis Schroder (hamstring) still out. However, they could get Grant Williams (hamstring) and /or Moussa Diabate (quadriceps). Both are listed as probable.

Our Phoenix Suns vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Suns absolutely have the firepower to take advantage of an injury-depleted Hornets rotation and should win this game. However, because of their defensive struggles all season, it is hard to have faith in them to cover (3-7 ATS this season). At the same time, it is fair to wonder if the Hornets can capitalize on Phoenix’s defensive issues. I don’t have much confidence in Phoenix, but I have even less in an injury-ravaged Charlotte team that averages less than 100 points a game.
